Ok, as I work on my V8 S10 swap some more, I'm going
to need some random nuts and bolts. For example, I'm
going to need bolts for a flywheel and alternator (so far).
What's the best way to go about finding and buying them?

Thanks!

 

You can get them from ARP. You can order them through Summit or Jegs.

 

If it's not a real important bolt, i'll just use a grade 8 from the hardware store. For critical engine parts, ARP are best.

 

I'm doing a V8 swap into an S10, so I'm going to need
a bunch of nuts and bolts that I don't have. Most are
going to be non-important bolts. The trick, I guess, is
figuring out the sizes of the bolts required...

PartsLand.com is an awesome site I use for jetski parts.
Exploded part breakdowns and P/Ns for everything. That
is what I was hoping was available for GM trucks...

 

Seriously there's no other easy choice for random nuts and bolts?
If I'm bolting in a P/S pump and need the bolts, I need to order an
ARP set (if they're even available) or go visit my area stealership?

In the Conversions & Hybrids section of LS1Tech there is a sticky with all the GM P/N's for accessory drive parts (including bolts), although I would recommend just figuring out what size bolt you need and getting them from a hardware store (much less expensive).

For what it's worth, all the front accessories use the same bolt threads. I can't remember the size off the top of my head, but they all have a 15mm head. I think it is M10 x 1.5, but don't quote me on that.

I just noticed this weekend that the flexplate-to-converter bolts are the same, too.
